Cholera Toxins. Produced by Vibrio cholerae, cholera toxin (CT) is a multimeric enterotoxin that transfers ADP-ribose to a G protein, locking adenylate cyclase in an 'on' position.
echinoderm. n. 1. (Animals) any of the marine invertebrate animals constituting the phylum Echinodermata, characterized by tube feet, a calcite body-covering (test), and a five-part symmetrical body. The group includes the starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers.ny of various invertebrate sea animals having a hard spiny outer covering, an internal skeleton, and a radially symmetrical body. Starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers are echinoderms.
The phylum Echinodermata includes about 7,000 living species. Members of Echinodermata are often called echinoderms. They are invertebrate animals that have radial symmetry, which means they have similar structures in several directions around a central point. In most starfish, this radial symmetry is consistent in five directions.
